Archeologist finds 3,000-year old Hebrew text















These pictures are from an article on CNN.com about an archeologist that finds a 3,000 year old Hebrew text. The text dates back a millennium before the Dead Sea Scrolls to the time of King David. This is a pretty exciting find. I do not believe that God will ever give us massive amounts of physical evidence to back up the words of Scripture. He requires our faith. However, things like this make the Scripture come alive and remind me that its not some fairy tale, its not just a story, these people were real just like you and I. They walked the earth, lived, breathed, ate, drank, loved. The evidence is plain, it is right before our eyes everyday. We do not need pottery shards with Hebrew to believe, but we serve a God who is gracious enough to give us these tiny extra glimpses into his reality.
